CARTER HOLT HARVEY PULP & PAPER LIMITED

AND WHAKATANE MILL LIMITED

DATED: May 4, 2010

PARTIES

Carter Holt Harvey Pulp & Paper Limited (CHH)

Whakatane Mill Limited (WML)

BACKGROUND

A.	Carter Holt Harvey Limited and WML have entered into an asset purchase agreement (Asset Purchase Agreement) dated on or about the date of this Agreement under which the Whakatane Mill business will transfer from Carter Holt Harvey Limited to WML.
B.	As part of this transfer, Carter Holt Harvey Limited will assign or novate and WML will take assignment of or novation of an agreement with Tenon Limited (Tenon) dated July 1988 to purchase approximately 115,000 green tonnes (GT) of pulp logs per annum (Tenon Agreement).
C.	In addition to the wood fibre to be supplied to WML by Tenon, WML requires approximately 55,000 GT of wood fibre per annum for the Whakatane Mill (Uncontracted Fibre).
D.	WML wishes to appoint CHH as its agent in relation to the management of the Tenon Agreement and in relation to the purchasing of Uncontracted Fibre in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and CHH wishes to accept such appointment.

AGREEMENT

The parties agree as follows:

1.	INTERPRETATION
	In this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires:
	Commencement Date means the date of closing under the Asset Purchase Agreement.
	CPI means the Consumers Price Index (All Groups) for New Zealand expressed as a percentage as calculated by Statistics New Zealand and published quarterly or such replacement index as is reasonably nominated by CHH if the Consumer Price Index (All Groups) ceases to exist or is varied from that applicable as at the date of this Agreement.
	Force Majeure Event means any or all of the following events or occurrences and the effects thereof: act of God or public enemy, flood, earthquake, storm, cyclone, tornado, hurricane, lightning, fire, explosion, epidemic, war, embargo, riot or civil disturbance, strike or other labour dispute, sabotage, expropriation, confiscation or requisitioning of facilities, order or temporary or permanent injunction of any duly constituted court of competent jurisdiction and any other matter or event which is beyond the control of a party (but excluding the payment of money for any reason) and of which that party could not take

1

	reasonable measures to prevent or mitigate the effects.
	Specifications means the specifications set out in Appendix 1 to this Agreement. Term means the period referred to in clause 2.2. Whakatane Mill means WML’s mill at Whakatane.
	Wood Council means the representatives of CHH (acting as agent for WML), Tenon and the parties from whom Tenon purchases the wood fibre supplied under the Tenon Agreement, being, as at the date of this Agreement, OTPP New Zealand Forest Investments Limited and Viking Global New Zealand Limited.
	A reference to New Zealand dollars, dollars, NZ$ or $ is a reference to the lawful currency of New Zealand.
2.	APPOINTMENT AND TERM
2.1.	Appointment
	WML appoints CHH as its exclusive agent in relation to the management of procurement:

(a)	under the Tenon Agreement; and
(b)	of Uncontracted Fibre,

	in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. CHH accepts the appointment as agent, on the terms set out in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, WML will not purchase, obtain or otherwise procure any wood fibre except through CHH, as its exclusive agent.
2.2.	Term
	This Agreement will commence on the Commencement Date and will continue thereafter until the date which is 5 years from the Commencement Date or until terminated otherwise in accordance with clause 6 or clause 11.
3.	CHH’S OBLIGATIONS
3.1.	Tenon Agreement fibre
	CHH will represent and promote WML’s commercial interests at the Wood Council in relation to the co-ordination, administration and management, including any negotiations on pricing and compliance with the specifications, of wood fibre to be supplied under the Tenon Agreement and WML’s ongoing obligations under the Tenon Agreement. CHH will meet monthly and generally liaise with the members of the Wood Council as required.
	CHH will keep WML generally informed of developments concerning WML’s interest in the Tenon Agreement and will, if requested by WML, bring a representative of WML to meetings of the Wood Council in particular if material resolutions are expected to be taken.
	WML acknowledges that CHH is in discussions with Tenon and OTPP New Zealand Forest Investments Limited and Viking Global New Zealand Limited to replace the existing Tenon Agreement with a new agreement to be made between the purchaser of wood fibre under the Tenon Agreement and OTPP New Zealand Forest Investments Limited and Viking Global New Zealand Limited. CHH will keep WML fully informed on progress with those discussions and consult with WML in good faith. Any new agreement will be subject to the

2

	approval in writing of WML provided that such approval may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and WML must give its approval and promptly execute the new agreement (together with any ancillary documentation) if the new agreement is broadly on the same terms as the Tenon Agreement. In the event that the existing Tenon Agreement is replaced by a new agreement, CHH and WML will promptly enter into negotiations in good faith on consequential amendments to this Agreement to reflect operational changes relating to the procurement of wood fibre for the Whakatane Mill brought about by the new agreement.
3.2.	Forecast for Uncontracted Fibre
	WML will provide CHH with an annual month-by-month forecast of WML’s requirements for Uncontracted Fibre, specified in metric GT, no later than 30 September of each year of the Term. At least three months prior to the date on which WML requires Uncontracted Fibre, WML must provide to CHH a written binding request to procure the Uncontracted Fibre (Request to Procure). The Request to Procure must specify the volumes required by WML.
	The parties acknowledge that WML generally intends to run the Whakatane Mill 365 days a year, however, wood fibre cannot be supplied during certain holiday periods, such as Christmas, due to forest closures. To account for these closures, WML will need to build-up its inventories of wood fibre at certain times of the year to ensure that it is always able to run the Whakatane Mill. WML will use its reasonable endeavours to request the procurement of Uncontracted Fibre on a consistent and even basis throughout the year, which should reflect the inventory build-up of wood fibre required to run the Whakatane Mill over the Christmas or any other holiday period.
3.3.	Procurement of Uncontracted Fibre
	Subject to clause 3.5, CHH will manage the procurement of the Uncontracted Fibre. CHH will use its reasonable endeavours to always procure wood fibre from suppliers in accordance with the Specifications and in the volumes set out in the Request to Procure and at a price favourable to WML.
	Where WML has not provided a Request to Procure within the time specified in clause 3.2, then CHH will procure the Uncontracted Fibre on WML’s behalf in the volumes and on any terms set out in the latest forecast.
3.4.	FSC certified fibre
	WML prefers, where pricing is approximately equivalent, that any Uncontracted Fibre procured by CHH be FSC certified, however, the parties acknowledge that supplies of FSC certified fibre are limited. When procuring the Uncontracted Fibre on WML’s behalf, and where pricing is approximately equivalent, CHH will use its reasonable endeavours to procure FSC certified fibre in priority to non-FSC certified fibre.
3.5.	Preferred suppliers
	CHH may procure the Uncontracted Fibre from within or outside the Central North Island region, however, CHH will use its reasonable endeavours to procure the most cost effective supplier to WML for the Uncontracted Fibre. At any time during the Term of this Agreement, WML may specify preferred suppliers for supplying all or any part of the Uncontracted Fibre. Where WML has specified a preferred supplier of Uncontracted Fibre, CHH will seek to procure the Uncontracted Fibre from the preferred supplier in preference to other suppliers.
3.6.	Non-compliance with Request to Procure

3

CHH will use reasonable endeavours to comply with the Request to Procure. If for any reason, CHH cannot arrange for the procurement of Uncontracted Fibre in accordance with the Specifications or Request to Procure, CHH will notify WML as soon as possible so that:

(a)	WML may make separate arrangements for procurement of the Uncontracted Fibre; or
(b)	WML may revise its Request to Procure accordingly.

3.7.	Represent WML’s Interests
	CHH will represent and promote WML’s commercial interests in relation to the management of procurement of the Uncontracted Fibre. CHH will keep WML generally informed of developments concerning WML’s interest in purchasing the Uncontracted Fibre.
3.8.	Payment for wood fibre
	It is intended by the parties that the wood fibre suppliers under the Tenon Agreement and of the Uncontracted Fibre will invoice WML directly for any wood fibre supplied to WML. CHH is under no obligation to make any payments on WML’s behalf or perform any obligations of WML under the Tenon Agreement or any contract for Uncontracted Fibre (except as expressly provided for in this Agreement in its role as agent of WML).
3.9.	CHH can bind WML
	Prior to the commencement of each quarter, WML and CHH will meet and agree purchasing parameters for the forthcoming quarter. WML agrees that CHH will have the capacity to bind WML in relation to matters involving the Tenon Agreement and the Uncontracted Fibre, including but not limited to prices to be paid by WML under the Tenon Agreement or any agreement to purchase the Uncontracted Fibre, provided that CHH will not act outside the agreed purchasing parameters without the consent of WML (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
3.10.	Delivery method and time
	CHH will procure all Uncontracted Fibre for WML on a ‘delivered to Whakatane Mill’ DDP (Incoterms 2000) basis and will request that the wood fibre procured under this Agreement be delivered to WML between 6am and 5pm unless otherwise agreed, and in accordance with normal industry delivery practices.
3.11.	No preference to CHH
	When procuring the Uncontracted Fibre for WML, CHH will also be procuring wood fibre on behalf of its own business. CHH will not act in a manner which favours CHH’s procurement strategy ahead of that of WML. CHH agrees that WML will not be unequally discriminated against in relation to CHH’s own business and procurement strategies.
3.12.	Information/Records
	CHH shall regularly and upon WML’s request report and provide to WML any information in relation to the procurement and agency activities performed by CHH under this Agreement. CHH shall keep separate and accurate records relating to the services of CHH performed hereunder to WML.
4.	WML’S OBLIGATIONS

4

Within 7 days after the end of each month, WML will provide CHH with a list summarising the details of all wood fibre that WML received during the previous month under the Tenon Agreement and through CHH’s procurement of the Uncontracted Fibre.
4.3.	Invoice and payment

All side marking should be carried out using white paint; this is provided at the CHH P&P Sites. If loads are not side marked they will not be unloaded. A list of side marking codes is provided at the weighbridges. Side marks are to be carried out on both sides of the truck unit and also on the trailer unit if it is a split load. Logs older than 3 months are required to be side marked with an O in front of grade code.

Explanation of Carter Holt Harvey Pulp and Paper Log Grade Codes

Each log grade can be identified by a three or four letter code, which can be explained as follows:

The 1st Letter indicates the species i.e.

Radiata	= R
Douglas fir	= D
Eucalyptus	= E
Popular	= P
Minor Species:	Larch = L, Strobus = S, Muricata = M, etc.

The 2nd Letter indicates the type of Pulp Wood, i.e.

Arisings Clearfell Pulp	= U
Thinnings Pulp	= T
Billet/Binwood	= B

The 3rd Letter indicates the diameter parameters of the Pulp Wood specific grade, i.e.

A	= 10 to 40cm (55cm for Binwood/Billets).
C	= 10 to 65cm.
H	= 35 to 85cm.
OT	= 65 to 100cm.
O	= 85 + (There are exceptions for Eucalyptus and Poplar Grades Specific to Kinleith).

The 4th Letter is specific to Binwood and Billets, where:

Binwood	= S for short lengths of 0.8 to 3.0m.
Billets	= M for medium lengths 1.8 to 3.0m.

Carter Holt Harvey Pulp and Paper General Rules for Logs (Rejection Criteria)

1.	All logs in a load must be of the species and grade docketed.
2.	Loads containing foreign objects (such as rocks, metal, plastic, staples, tags etc...) will be rejected.
3.	At least 1 in 10 logs are to be marked on the large end with the felling date and crew number.
4.	All markings on a load must be clear and easily read. Incorrect markings must be rubbed out with paint.
